Arkulus Custom

What do Arkulus custom solutions provide?

Arkulus custom solutions are designed for sites with unique fire or blast risks where standard products are not suitable. We engineer tailored systems using our proprietary insulative technology to deliver high-performance, certifier-ready protection that fits your exact site and operational requirements.

What fire rating do Arkulus custom solutions achieve, and how is it proven?

Arkulus custom solutions use the same technology that is independently tested and certified to 240/240/240 FRR, providing four hours of fire protection. Performance is proven through AS1530.4 fire testing and supported by engineering assessments. Arkulus works with you and your specifiers to ensure each custom design follows a clear, compliant certification pathway.

How does Arkulus address blast risk in custom solutions?

Where blast risk is identified, Arkulus custom solutions are engineered to address both fire and blast effects. Blast performance is informed by completed blast testing undertaken during product development, along with engineering analysis and modelling. Final suitability is assessed in consultation with project engineers and certifiers based on the specific risk and site conditions.

What are Arkulus custom solutions typically used for?

Arkulus custom solutions are used to protect high-risk areas or assets such as transformers, generators, battery storage and charging areas, blast-risk zones, fire-rated separation walls, and fire-rated service penetrations. They are ideal where site constraints, equipment layout, or risk profiles require a tailored approach.

Does Arkulus provide four-hour fire protection for service penetrations?

Yes. Arkulus provides fire-rated service penetration collars designed to maintain up to four hours of fire separation where services pass through fire-rated walls or enclosures. This supports compliant fire cell separation in high-risk or complex installations.

How can I protect buildings or equipment from transformers or generators?

Arkulus can design and install four-hour fire- and blast-rated walls or enclosures between transformers or generators and nearby assets. These custom shields are engineered to limit fire spread, heat transfer, and blast impact, helping protect people, buildings, and critical infrastructure.

Is there a safe way to store EV or lithium-ion batteries?

Yes. EV and lithium-ion batteries are best stored or charged in dedicated fire-rated enclosures that separate high-risk items from people and other assets. Arkulus can provide custom battery storage and charging enclosures designed to contain fire, reduce risk, and help protect surrounding buildings and operations.

Can Arkulus custom solutions be used in new builds or retrofits?

Yes. Arkulus custom solutions can be incorporated into new builds or retrofitted into existing buildings. They can be installed as external enclosures or used internally to create compliant fire- or blast-rated separation.

Can Arkulus custom solutions be relocated or modified later?

Yes. Many Arkulus custom systems are modular and relocatable. They can be modified, extended, or relocated as site layouts, operations, or compliance requirements change, helping future-proof your investment.

How are Arkulus custom solutions designed?

Each Arkulus custom solution is designed specifically for your site and risk profile. Arkulus works closely with you, your designers, and certifiers to engineer a solution that meets performance requirements and follows the appropriate compliance pathway.

How do Arkulus custom solutions compare to concrete or other permanent options?

Arkulus custom solutions are lighter, faster to install, and often relocatable, unlike concrete. They deliver engineered fire and blast protection while offering flexibility to adapt or move as your site changes, reducing disruption, lowering long-term costs, and improving return on investment.

How do I get started with an Arkulus custom solution?

Arkulus supports custom projects from early discussions through design, delivery, and approval. Get in touch to talk through your fire or blast risk, site constraints, and compliance requirements, and we’ll work with you to develop the right solution for your application.
